That's right, I am without a doubt the Queen of Unfinished Projects. As a matter of fact, this post is a testament to my royalty. I started this post three days ago. I finally decided this morning I was going to finish it.
What kinds of unfinished projects could I be talking about? Hmm. Let's see, we moved into our house almost four years ago (I can't believe it's been that long) and I still haven't finished decorating it. It isn't even as if I finished one room and just haven't finished others, no, every room is in some state of incomplete. While I was out on maternity leave I swore I was going to finish it. I bought two candle sconces for the dining room wall and called it quits. Let me not even go into the fact that the landscaping in the backyard is still not complete. Although I should mention- my MO is to finish the landscaping in the backyard and then put the house up for sale and move so I am sure my husband has left that walkway incomplete for a reason.
I have boxes and boxes of sewing that has yet to be completed. Some boxes contain projects where the patterns have been cut out and partially sewed but then set aside. Others contain patterns and fabric matched together but not yet cut. And even still others contain fabric, or patterns, thoughts left unfinished. I do have one whole box of fleece where I was planning on making blankets for Mrs. M and her family to send for Christmas- just never got around to edging them.
My newest obsession has been knitting. It just takes me away in ways that other things don't. Sometimes I have to concentrate on it. Sometimes I can just knit, knit, knit and it is just idle time while watching a tv show. I am a beginner- and by beginner I mean I barely know how to cast on and cast off by myself but I have already made four scarves and I am on to a baby blanket that I intend to donate to the NICU in Sam's name.
So when you sometimes wonder why I don't post for a week at a time- don't give up hope. Keep checking back- I will be back online. My blog is still my biggest unfinished project and I will keep coming back to it. Hope you do too!
Oh my, I can't begin to list all of my unfinished projects. However, they're usually crafty inspired projects. Things that have a deadline get done, but things that I think "Oh, I'd like to do that" just never seem to happen. And the supplies end up sitting around in some Tupperware box/drawer somewhere. Good Luck to finishing at least one of them!
